Cremation diamonds are real diamonds, made from love ones’ cremated ashes or hair, that can be graded the same as natural diamonds.

The only difference between natural diamonds and crema-tion diamonds from ashes is their origin.

Cremation diamonds are created from the carbon of ashes, whereas natural diamonds are minerals that form under-ground over billions of years.

What Is A Cremation Diamond?

Cremation diamonds have been grown in a lab to be chemically identical to real diamonds that are grown in the Earth.

They have been created by replicating the high heat and pressure deep below the Earth’s surface which create natural diamonds.

A certificate of authenticity (Provided by Gemological Institute of America) and grading report will come with the diamond to give you all the assurance you need to know how real your dia-mond is.

Turning your loved one’s ashes into a diamond is the perfect way to say goodbye, by creating a stunning piece of jewelry. Diamonds hold value and can be passed down.

It’s a way to let go and remember what was beautiful about them.

Common Questions About Cremation DiamondsCremation diamonds are real diamonds, made from love ones’ cremated ashes or hair, that can be graded the same as natural diamonds.

How long does it take to create a diamond?Although the many stages can take several months to complete, that’s just a minute compared to the millions of years it takes the organic way.

This is just a rough time estimate, in fact most of the companies say that the typical process is around 6 to 10 months. The time taken depends on both size and color of the diamond chosen.

How much ashes do you need to make a diamond?Cremation diamonds can be created from 200 grams (8 ounces) of ashes or about 10 grams (0.4 ounces) of human hair. Just to make sure, always check with the diamond company you’re dealing with.

How many diamonds can be made from one person?Eight ounces of ashes can produce up to 8 to 10 fine diamonds. Ashes from one entire individual can yield over 100 high-quality diamonds.

Do cremation diamonds come with a unique inscription?Each diamond comes inscribed with its own unique ID. This number is laser inscribed into it.

Are they available for pets?Yes you can. The creators of cremation diamonds did not forget about our precious pets. Their ashes and hair are grown into beautiful diamonds as well.The process and options are basically the same as for humans.

How to order a cremation diamond?Any reputable cremation diamond company will give you a clear step-by-step process for order-ing your diamond. After contacting them, you will usually receive a welcome kit. This includes clear instructions, return postage and tools to safely send in your order.

Cremation Diamond CompaniesThe very first time cremation diamonds were offered on the market was back in 2001.Since that time, a number of other companies have gotten in on this innovative method of re-membrance.

Of course, the market is still somewhat limited due to the immense capital that a business must invest in order to offer the service.

The necessary equipment and machinery for this process cost around 1million dollars.

EternevaEterneva was founded in 2017 after the co-founder lost her mentor to cancer and wanted a more meaningful way to remember her.

For this reason, this company has a unique personal ele-ment, sharing pictures and videos with you throughout the process.

A photo of your loved one is hung up on Eterneva’s wall while the diamond is being completed, and his/her story may also be shared on social media with your permission.

LifeGemA pioneer in the field, LifeGem was the first company of its kind, offering its first cremation diamonds back in 2001.

With this solid history, LifeGem stands by their prod-ucts, giving you updates on the process of your loved one’s transformation.

Besides producing cremation diamonds for people, Life-Gem prides itself on producing beautiful diamonds out of the cremains of beloved pets.
